In September 2001, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) introduced a new number plate registration system that was designed to last 49 years. The new change was welcomed not only by car dealers but also by the car insurance industry, as the DVLA also decided to issue new car registrations twice a year instead of once a year.
In the past, new registrations were issued on August 1 of each year. Inevitably, this caused a huge headache for insurance companies as so many people needed insurance right now. This once-a-year rush for insurance was compounded by daylight savings time when most people, including insurance company employees, go on vacation. Today, new registrations are issued in March and September. This eases the workload on insurance companies and allows them to more easily staff for increased calls.
Of course, the old system was in place for about 38 years, so there is still a large population of people who require insurance renewal on August 1st. So around July, August, and September, insurance companies are still especially busy, and you can generally expect long waits at call centers with many direct companies.
Instead, using the Internet is a much easier and faster way to get your new car insurance quote.
